Playing badminton makes people "quick-eyed and quick-handed"

Playing badminton can make people develop "quick eyes and quick hands". The reason is very simple. When playing, both players have to frequently observe the opponent's swinging posture and the high-speed flying badminton. The eyes closely follow the high-speed flying object, and the ciliary muscles of the eyes will constantly contract and relax, which greatly promotes the blood circulation of the eye tissue, thereby improving the function of the ciliary muscles. Long-term exercise can improve people's visual acuity and the reaction ability of the eyes. For ordinary badminton enthusiasts, especially the middle-aged and elderly people and those who overuse their eyes, if they can persist in playing badminton, their visual sensitivity will be significantly improved.
